Image Accuracy
The resulting quality of images presented on this site can vary between patterns. This depends on many factors, including your own computer and display. Furthermore, the images of our fabrics that are shown to be upholstered on a lounge chair are entirely computer-generated. While every effort has been made to ensure that the scale and direction are as accurate as possible, these images are only meant to give an impression of what the finished piece might look like. Because of these circumstances, please procure a fabric sample and speak to your furniture representative before writing your spec or purchase order.

California Proposition 65
Proposition 65 is a California law officially known as the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. It requires businesses to provide a "clear and reasonable" warning before exposing persons, consumers, employees and the general public to chemicals that are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The Proposition 65 warning applies, among others, to exposures from consumer products. A business must provide a warning with its product if it is reasonably foreseeable that a person in the state of California will buy or receive the product.
Proposition 65 does not ban the use of any chemicals but is intended to ensure the public is informed as to its exposure to listed chemicals. Some of Architex's vinyl textiles contain detectable levels of these chemicals. For more information about Proposition 65, visit oehha.ca.gov.
